to have been DeTfOl med by the surgeons

cancer Of tbs stomach. The only chance
Of saVil g his life was to resOTt to the
most radical surgical measures The
sufferer was first etheTized, and then q
large opening was made Il the abdomen.
The stomach was exposed and lifted out
for examination. Twas found that the
cancer effec ed large part Of one side
OF the wall. To remove the cancer at

taken away large portion of the stOm-

possible TO close the gap so that the con-

the surg on sawed a seam directly across
the stomach separating the healthy from

was then replaced and the abdomen tenn.

the seam has grown into natural wall
of separation, the bdomen will be again

THE Nashville American Is moved to
suggest, that while we are listening to
so much rant and cant about the new
South" by all means let us have new
North. What this country really needs
is q new NOrth-a North that will have
less of Puritan bigOtry, intolerance,
arrogance and less Of the Puritan dis
position to depreciate others and boast
Its own virtues. If the people of the
North could be convinced that they are
really no better than some other people
whom God has made, and that they have
some very serious imperfections of
their own that need mending; If they
could be persuaded to stop monkeylng
with the mote In their brothers eye and
give some little attention to the beam
that is In their own, we should come to
a better understanding and have a bet

New Statue of Queen Anne.

During the past week or two there has been
an unique sight 20 be seen IN front OF
ST. PauIs cathedral. The sightseer on the
bus top has had the extraordinary spectacle
presented to him of II person, standing on a
pedcstal that was fenced in, struggling TO get
free from loose wrapper that completely
enveloped the person, head and all. This was,
in fact, the new statue Of Queen Anne, which
had not then been unveiled The winds
fluttered the covering to and fro and gave
the odd appearance TO the statue of struggling
to get free. Queen Anne seemed to have be-
come a modern Galatea. The ghastly part or
the affair, however, was the striking resem-
blance the figure had to a person to be
hanged. The covering over the head tied
tightly at the throat, the ropes around the
lower part of the statue, the elevated position
the whole effect, in fact, bore a striking
likeness TO the chief figure at an execution.
II is q relief that the late storm and the lord
mayor removed the covering, allowing tho
great queen to stand out as the sculptor in-
tended she should.-Luke Sharp's London

The Boston Car Strike.

BosToN, February 11.-At 8 o'clock
this morning the South Boston Horse
Railroad Company started out the first
car that has been run over the road since
the strike began, and since the first car
was started over a dozen others have been
sent out. Every car has four and some
of them have six policemen aboard, and
the entire route is well guarded by oifi-
GERS. There has been no trouble as yet,
though the first car was followed by a
crowd of yelling hoodlums, but these
the police succeeded in dispensing. The
police about the stables and along the
thickly settled portion of the route keep
the people moving and do not permit them
to congregate. The strikers themselves
are perfectly orderly. No trouble is an
ticipated during the day, but it is feared
that there will be violence tonight If the
cars are run after dark. No attempt was
made this morning to run the cars from
Cambridge, and everything was quiet
over there.
